Questions

Common questions about prefab cabins

Can I add a wood burner? What heating is there?
Sorry, an expandable house cannot have a wood burner added. The heating system can only be an electric heater.
Is the home insulated?
Yes. Each panel has a foam core that provides insulation: 50 mm EPS (R = 1.315 m²K/W) is standard, with upgrades to 50 mm PU (R = 2.083), 75 mm PU (R = 3.125) or 50 mm Silica Rock (R = 1.25). The panelling can be selected for whichever meets your needs best. For developed countries we recommend the Silica Rock panels, and you can upgrade the panelling for better insulation in cold climates.
What kind of foundation do I need?
If building on standard ground, you will need 8 to 12 concrete piers to support the whole house.
